Desperate Congressional Race

    Wow.  The race for our congressional seat is really hot.  You might have heard that the incumbent Democrat, David Wu, has recently been outed for some sort of attempted physical or sexual assault on his girlfriend 30 years ago.  His Republican opponent, Goli Ameri, has taken a surprising amount of heat for capitalizing on this story broken by the Portland Oregon newspaper, The Oregonian.  Shockingly, (Shocking, I tell you!) The Oregonian had already endorsed Wu's opponent at the time that they exposed his secret.  Seems a little improper, somehow, doesn't it?  Are they reporting the news or making it?

 

    The race is now so close that I received a call from Ms. Goli, in person.  I'm kind of flattered, actually.  I told her that I had voted, already, though.  I kept it quick, knowing she must have many, many of these calls to make tonight!
